Sustainability is the central theme. Operational sustainability refers not only to ecological, but also to social and economic effects.
It is about creating long-term value for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, suppliers and the community.
Operational sustainability is not only a responsibility, but also an opportunity to drive innovation and competitiveness while achieving long-term, sustainable success.
Sustainability measures in companies
There are many ways in which companies can integrate operational sustainability into their business strategies:
-
Sustainable supply chains: Companies should select their suppliers carefully and push for sustainable practices. This could include the use of environmentally friendly materials, fair working conditions and social responsibility.
-
Energy efficiency and renewable energies: Switching to renewable energy and introducing energy-efficient technologies can significantly reduce a company’s carbon footprint.
-
Waste reduction and recycling: Companies can minimize waste by using recyclable materials and implementing recycling programs.
-
Promoting employee participation: Employees can play an important role in promoting sustainability within the company. Companies should encourage their employees to contribute sustainable ideas and actively participate in sustainability initiatives.
Sustainability pilot of the HWK
The Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Handwerk has developed a sustainability pilot.
The free service gives skilled trade businesses the opportunity to find out within 15 minutes how sustainable they currently are and in which areas they have the greatest potential for development.
Certifications
Sustainability certificates serve as independent proof that a company actually implements sustainable practices. This creates trust among customers, business partners and investors, as they can ensure that the company keeps its promises in terms of sustainability.
The KUS supports you as a guide in achieving your certification goals.
